Ouch over 9$ per quart for Motorcraft synthetic case on Amazon. I'd rather have the PU for less than $6 per quart. I guess everyone doesn't have it available though.
Mobil 1 5w-30 or Pennzoil Ultra 5w-30

If you look on the back label of the MotorCraft Full Syn it says Product of China! For that $$$ I'd stay clear of it!

That's B.S.! It's South Korea, one of the premier makers of Group III...

Does the owners manual allow 10k change? Does the OLM go out that far?
Mobil 1 EP is a good choice if you're a Mobil 1 fan. Ultra is great too.

This is the reason I ended up going with Pennzoil Ultra in mine (2014 Fusion with the 2.0 Ecoboost) versus Mobil 1. The latter is available through the dealership, but from what I've read here, it seems PU is a better option for a DI/turbo car. It outperformed Mobil 1 on both of these tests.

Here's a UOA from my ST. It's tuned so is pushing more boost than stock. I like the low NOAK of Penn Platinum, but not how badly it sheared. I need something else with a low NOAK but a heavier viscosity.

Consider this on the next change... all theory of coarse, but so is much of everything we read regarding DI...

Supercharged direct-injection engines are known to have a tendency toward abnormal combustion such as spontaneous low-speed pre-ignition and strong knock because they operate under low-speed, high-load conditions conducive to the occurrence of irregular combustion. It has been hypothesized that one cause of such abnormal combustion is the intrusion of engine oil droplets into the combustion chamber where they become a source of ignition. It has also been reported that varying the composition of engine oil additives can change susceptibility to abnormal combustion. However, the mechanisms involved are not well understood, and it is not clear how the individual components of engine oil additives affect autoignition.
In this study, abnormal combustion experiments were conducted to investigate the effect on autoignition of a calcium-based additive that is typically mixed into engine oil to act as a detergent. The experiments were performed with a single-cylinder 4-cycle gasoline engine using a primary reference fuel (PRF 50) into which the calcium salicylate (CaSa)-based detergent was mixed at various ratios.
The experimental results showed that autoignition occurred increasingly earlier with a higher concentration of the CaSa-based engine oil additive, giving rise to severe abnormal combustion. This indicates that the addition of a CaSa-based detergent to engine oil tends to promote autoignition and abnormal combustion.
